Alton Brown, host of the popular food TV show "Iron Chef," is bringing the "Alton Brown Live! The Edible Inevitable Tour" to the Tennessee Performing Arts Center's Andrew Jackson Hall on Nov. 7 at 8 p.m.

The tour features live music, stand-up comedy, food experimentation, and a lecture on multimedia from Brown, who recently was named "best food TV personality" by The Munchies: People's Choice Food Awards. The audience will be asked to participate in some activities, even some involving ponchos. The show is appropriate for all ages.

"I've been cultivating material for this show for about a decade, so it'll feel pretty darned good to finally get it out of my head and onto a stage," Brown said in a release. "I feel we've come up with some pretty amazing food demos, and the multi-media segments are solid ... but I do have to say I'm a bit nervous about the singing parts."

Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. on June 7 and are available through the TPAC Box Office at (615) 782-4040 and online at www.tpac.org.
